The majority of the online registration process using a PayPal checkout is the same as the process using the STRONGVON Credit Card Service. The only difference is the secure payment web page where the registrant is directed after he enters his registration details and agrees to the waiver and terms. For PayPal payments, the registrant is taken directly to the checkout cart of your PayPal account on PayPal’s secure server. The item description on the PayPal shopping cart is automatically populated with the registrant’s name, event name, and reference number. Figure 2 shows an example of what the registrant would see after he has just submitted his registration details.
Your PayPal shopping cart is automatically configured to accept payment by regular credit card without a PayPal login, or it can accept payment by the registrant’s own PayPal account. The registrant makes that choice once he is viewing the PayPal shopping cart. You must have your PayPal account configured to offer payment by credit card.
If he wants to pay the registration fee using his PayPal account, he logs into his PayPal account on the right side of the PayPal shopping cart. After logging into his PayPal account he completes the payment and the funds are deducted from his PayPal account.
If he wants to pay the registration fee by credit card without using a PayPal account, he follows the instructions on the left side of the PayPal shopping cart. This allows him to enter his credit card details and submit the payment without needing to log into PayPal or create a PayPal account.
